In  the  following  list  of  editions,  I  have  only  attempted  to  include  such  as 
were  published  during  the  discussion  of  the  Constitution,  prior  to  its  ratifica- 
tion, and  so  conscious  am  I  of  its  imperfections,  that  I  should  omit  it  altogether, 
were  it  not  that  no  such  list  has  ever  been  attempted,  and  this  may  make  the 
task  an  easier  one  to  some  future  bibliographer.  It  is  almost  certain  that  the 
Federal  Convention,  the  Continental  Congress,  and  each  of  the  states  printed 
public  official  editions,  (of  which,  excepting  Massachusetts,  New  York,  and  pos- 
sibly Pennsylvania,  I  have  been  unable  to  trace  copies)  while  the  editions 
printed  for  the  use  of  the  people  were  undoubtedly  numerous.  The  list  includes

every  edition  that  I  could  find,  in  any  bibliographies  or  library  catalogues  that 
I  have  examined,  except  the  "  Portsmoutli,  N.  11.  1787"  given  in  the  Library 
of  Congress  catalogue,  which  cannot  now  be  found.  1  have  also  included  the 
two  drafts  (Nos.  19  and  20)  used  by  the  Convention,  which,  though  not  prop- 
erly editions  of  the  Constitution,  nevertheless  seemed  best  classed  among 
them.  The  arrangement  is  alphabetical,  by  the  first  word  of  the  title  or  caption 
participles  excepted.

The  "Report"  of  the  "Committee  of  five,"  of  the  Federal  Convention, 
brought  in  August  6th,  1787.  Printed  only  for  the  use  of  the  members,  as  a 
basis  for  a  continuation  of  the  discussion.  Both  these  last  two  editions,  it  is 
needless  to  say,  are  of  the  greatest  rarity,  the  number  printed  being  probably 
not  over  sixty  copies,  and  as  confidential  documents,  were  saved  by  few  of  the 
members.  The  Department  of  State  possesses  Washington's  copy  of  No.  19. 
and  David  Brearly's  and  James  Madison's  copies  of  both  drafts.  The  Library 
of  Congress  possesses  William  Samuel  Johnson's  copies,  and  the  Massa- 
chusetts Historical  Society  has  those  of  Elbridge  Gerry.  All  of  these  contain 
Mss.  alterations  by  their  respective  owners,  and  George  Mason's  copy  of  No. 
19  in  the  possession  of  Miss  Kate  Mason  Rowland  of  Virginia,  contains  not 
only  alterations,  but  the  objections  of  Mason  to  the  Constitution,  in  his  own 
handwriting.  What  are  apparently  the  original  Mss.  compilations  from  which 
these  drafts  were  printed  are  in  the  Wilson  Papers,  now  in  the  Pennsylvania 
Historical  Society.

Elliot's  Debates  (especially  this  edition),  in  spite  of  its  imperfections,  is  the 
great  store  house  of  American  constitutional  history.  It  is  almost  impossible 
to  exaggerate  its  importance,  and  though  Nos.  92  and  99  have  rendered  the  por- 
tion relating  to  Massachusetts  and  Pennsylvania  of  little  value,  the  remaining 
contents  are  only  to  be  found  in  contemporary  publications  of  greater  or  lesser 
rarity. 

In  1858  the  plates  passed  into  the  hands  of  J.  B.  Lippincott  &  Co.,  who  have 
printed  several  issues,  with  change  of  date  only.

"  The  Federalist,  as  he  terms  himself,  or  Publius,  puts  me  in  mind  of  some 
of  the  gentlemen  of  the  long  robe  when  hard  pressed,  in  a  bad  cause,  with  a 
rich  client.  They  frequently  say  a  good  deal,  which  does  not  apply;  but  yet  if 
it  will  not  convince  the  judge  and  jury,  may  perhaps,  help  to  make  them  forget 
some  part  of  the  evidence — embarass  their  opponents,  and  make  the  audience 
stare."     N.   Y.  Journal,  Feb.  14,  178S.

republican  government  are  unfolded  with  such  precision."  American  ^Magazine

Of  the  first  edition  of  The  Federalist  a  few  copies  remain  unsold, which  passed 
into  the  hands  of  John  Tiebout,  who  reissued  it  with  new  titles  only. 

"  It  is  said  that  in  the  year  1799,  ^  ^^'^  edition  of  The  Federalist,  the  fifth  in 
book-form,  was  published  by  John  Tiebout  .  .  .  The  most  diligent  search  has 
been  made  lor  a  copy  of  that  edition,  but  without  finding  it  or  obtaining  any 
other  information  concerning  it.  It  is  not  in  any  of  the  principal  public  libraries, 
nor,  so  far  as  can  be  learned,  is  a  copy  of  it  in  any  private  library  in  this  part  of 
the  country.  The  newspapers  of  that  period — both  Foederal  and  Republican — 
have  been  carefully  examined,  with  the  hope  of  finding  the  Proposals  for  its 
publication;  personal  enquiries  have  been  made  of  Mr.  Tiebout's  sons,  and  of 
several  of  the  older  inhabitants  of  the  city;  and  those  whose  intimate  knowledge 
of  books  entitles  them  to  the  respect  of  every  student  have  been  applied  to  on 
the  suject;  yet  no  trace  whatever,  beyond  the  single  allusion  above  referred  to, 
has  been  obtained  from  any  quarter  concerning  this  or  any  other  edition  of  The 
Federalist  from  the  press  of  John  Tiebout."  Mr.  Dawson's  Introduction  to  The 
Federalist,  l.wii 

"  Mr.  Dawson,  after  the  most  exhaustive  research,  failed  to  find  a  copy,  and 
only  heard  of  one,  or  what  appeared  to  be  one,  in  the  collection  of  Mr.  Force, 
while  his  own  volume  was  passing  through  the  press,  and  he  was  therefore 
compelled  to  leave  the  existence  of  such  an  edition  largely  a  matter  of  conjec- 
ture. This  gap  is  now  filled.  There  is  a  copy  of  this  edition,  probably  unique, 
for  the  Force  copy  has  disappeared,  in  the  Long  Island  Historical  Society." 
Mr.  Lodf^e's  Introduction  to  The  Federalist. 

This  copy  mentioned  by  Mr.  Lodge  is  however,  imperfect,  there  being  but 
one  volume.

Mr.  Dawson  hazards  the  guess  that  this  edition  was  edited  by  William  Cole- 
man, but  by  Mr.  Hopkins  statement,  he  appears  in  error. 

"  Mr.  Hopkins  informed  me  to-day  that  this  edition  was  in  the  first  instance 
corrected  by  John  Wells,  who  compared  it  with  the  original  edition,  published 
by  McLean  [sic]  in  1788,  and  that  it  was  subsequently  revised  by  my  father,  at 
whose  casual  suggestion  Pacificus  was  printed  with  it."  Memoranda  by  J.  C. 
Hamilton,  Feb.  6,  1847. 

From  the  "prefatory  remarks  "  prefi.^ed  to  the  Washington  edition,  it  would

appear  that  Mr.  Jay  also  revised  in  this  edition  the  numbers  contributed  by 
him.     See  No.  41. 

"  In  the  year  1S02,  Mr.  Hopkins,  printer,  of  this  city,  intending  to  publish  a 
new  edition  of  The  Federalist,  took  this  opportunity  to  apply  to  Gen.  Hamil- 
ton, and  solicit  him  to  correct  and  revise  the  numbers,  and,  so  far  succeeded, 
as  to  obtain  his  consent  to  assist  in  the  revisal,  provided  a  gentleman  of  com- 
petent literary  talents  would  undertake  to  make  the  first  verbal  corrections,  for 
the  original  idea  was  to  be  strictly  adhered  to  ; — He  then  examined  the  whole 
with  his  own  eye,  previous  to  its  being  committed  to  the  press,  and  saw  that  it 
was  free  from  literary  blemishes."  William  A.  Coleman  in  the  A'.  V.  Evening

"The  present  edition  of  the  Federalist  contains  all  the  numbersof  that  work, 
as  revised  by  their  authors,  and  is  the  only  one  to  which  the  remark  will  apply. 
Former  editions,  indeed,  it  is  understood,  had  the  advantage  of- a  revisal  from 
Mr.  Hamilton,  and  Mr.  Jay,  but  the  numbers  written  by  Mr.  Madison  still  re- 
main in  the  state  in  which  they  originally  issued  from  the  press,  and  contain 
many  inaccuracies.  The  publisher  of  this  volume  has  been  so  fortunate  as  to 
procure  from  Mr.  Madison  the  copy  of  the  work  which  that  gentleman  had 
preserved  for  himself,  with  corrections  of  the  papers  of  which  he  was  the 
author,  in  his  own  hand."  Prefatory  remarks  by  Jacob  Gideon,  Jr. 

Mr.  Madison  claims  the  authorship,  in  this  edition,  of  Nos.  iS,  19  and  20, 
which  Hamilton  had  given  as  their  joint  work;  and  49  to  58,  62  and  63,  which 
Mr.  Hamilton  had  claimed  for  himself.  In  spite  of  the  research  and  study 
devoted  to  the  dispute,  it  is  to-day  impossible  to  give  the  authorship  to  either 
with  any  certainty.

All   ever  printed.     This   volume  contains  the   text  of  The  Federalist,  entire, 
and  an   Introduction,  containing  a  history  of  the  origin,  original  publication, 
the  controversy  over  the  disputed  numbers,  and  a  bibliographical  list  of  edi- 
tions, all  being  treated  with  great  thoroughness.     It  was  Mr.  Dawson's  inten- 
tion to  give,  in  the  second  volume,  the  alterations  which  had  been  made  in  the 
text  of  the  various  editions,  and  MSS.  notes  from  copies  of  the  work  which  had 
belonged  to  the  authors  and  other  statesmen.     The  Introduction  gave  offense 
to  the  Hamilton  and  Jay  families,  and  occasioned  the  following  pamphlets  :

"  In  i8ig,  when  John  Quincy  Adams,  by  direction  of  Congress,  edited  and 
published  the  Journal  of  the  Federal  Convention,  he  drew  up  ...  a  list  of  the 
members  . . .  This  list  was  accepted  and  republished  by  Elliot,  ...  by  Curtis 
. . .  and  more  recently  in  the  Official  Programme  of  the  Constitutional  Centen- 
ial,  and  no  additions  are  promised  in  the  forthcoming  memorial  of  that  celebra- 
tion— Thus  this  list  prepared  in  i8rg,  has  become  a  fixture  .  . .  There  are,  how- 
ever, several  omissions  and  by  reference  to  original  documents,  acts,  etc.,  I 
have  increased  the  list  to  seventy-four.  To  this  I  have  added,  in  such  cases  as 
I  have  been  able,  the  reasons  of  members  for  declining  the  appointment,  and 
non-attendance  of  such  as  failed  to  be  present  in  the  Convention  ;  the  day  of 
arrival  of  attending  members;  the  absence  of  attending  members;  the  date  of 
leaving  of  those  who  failed  to  sign  the  Constitution,  with  their  reasons,  and  the 
part  the  non-attending  and  non-signing  members  took  in  their  own  States  in 
support  or  opposition  to  the  ratification."  Extract  from  preface.

ceedings  of  the  Federal  Convention  to  them.  It  is  a  work  of  the  greatest 
value  from  the  inside  light  that  this  member,  and  opposer  of  the  Constitution, 
sheds  on  this  secret  history  of  the  Convention,  but  must  be  taken  as  a  partizan 
statement.     It  is  reprinted  in  Elliot  and  in  Nos.  138-42.

Edited  by  Bradford  K.  Pierce  and  Charles  Hale.  It  contains  not  only  the 
debates  as  printed  in  the  two  former  editions,  but  the  ante  and  post  proceed- 
ings of  the  General  Court;  Gerry's  official  letter;  the  Journal  of  the  Conven- 
tion; Judge  Parsons  "  Minutes  "  of  the  debates;  an  account  of  the  reception  of 
the  news  of  the  ratification,  and  of  the  procession  which  followed  ;  the  "  Let- 
ters of  an  American;"  Speeches  of  Franklin  in  the  Federal  Convention,  and 
Wilson  in  the  Pa.  Convention;  4  "  Letters  of  Brutus,"  and  a  series  of  personal 
letters  relating  to  the  proceedings  in  Massachusetts,  mostly  taken  from  .SjiarU's 
Wiitings  of  Washington. 

It  is  a  most  valuable  volume  for  the  history  of  the  struggle  over  ratification 
^  Massachusetts,  but  it  is  a  little  strange  that  the  editors  should  pass  over  the 
essays  on  the  Constitution  from  Massachusetts  pens  and  select  the  letters 
of  "An  American"  and  of  "Brutus" — the  first  a  Pennsylvania  series,  by 
Tench  Coxe,  and  the  second  by  a  New  York  writer.

This  volume  includes,  not  only  the  I-eUers  signed  Decius,  contributed  to  the 
Virginia  Independent  Chronicle,  between  December,  178S  and  July,  1789,  but 
also  many  answers  to  the  same,  signed  "Juvenal,"  "  Philo  Pat.  Pat.  Pauia," 
"  Anti  Decius,"  "  Honestus,"  and  others. 

It  is  a  most  scathing  attack  on  the  Anti-Federalists  in  Virginia,  and  especially 
on  their  leader,  Patrick   Henry.     Perhaps  nothing  illustrates  better  the  rarity

From  a  letter  in  the  Lamb  papers  (N.  Y.  Historical  Soc.)  it  appears  probable 
that  at  least  Hamilton,  Jay  and  Lansing  revised  their  speeches,  though  Francis 
Childs,  the  reporter,  virtually,  in  his  preface,  says  that  no  such  revision  took 
place.     It  is  reprinted  in  Elliot,  ii.

"  Written  by  John  Nicholas,  Esqr.  formerly  a  member  of  Congress  from 
Virginia  now  resident  in  the  State  of  New  York.  Boston  25  Sept  1818  W.  S. 
Shaw  Sec.     Bost.  Athen." 

Mr.  Shaw  probably  derived  his  note  given  above,  from  John  Adams,  whose 
copy  this  was. 

The  first  edition  (No.  loo)  is  referred  by  Jefferson,  apparently  on  Nicholas' 
own  authority  to  Dr.  Montgomery,  so  that  we  seemingly  have  Jefferson  giving 
the  authorship  to  Montgomery,  and  Adams  giving  it  to  Nicholas.  They  may 
both  be  right,  however,  for  the  above  pamphlet  is  merely  the  prospectus  of  a 
new  edition,  and  therefore  might  be  written  by  an  entirely  different  man  than 
the  author. 

The  prospectus  was  issued  immediately  after  the  appearance  of  Wirt's  Life 
of  Patrick  Henry,  with  the  avowed  purpose  of  neutralizing  that  rose-colored 
narrative.     It  was  never  however,  cartied  further  than  the  prospectus.

Two  hundred  and  twenty-five  copies  were  distributed  by  the  New  York  Anti- 
Federal  committee  to  the  local  county  committees  of  the  State. 

The  "  Letters  of  Centinel."  were  by  Samuel  Bryan,  of  Philadelphia,  and 
appeared  originally  in  T/u  Independent  Gazetteer  of  that  city.  The  letters  were 
exceedingly  personal,  and  especially  severe  on  Washington  and  Franklin,  so  it 
is  rather  amusing  to  find  Bryan  writing  to  George  Clinton  in  1790  and  request- 
ing that  he  use  his  influence  with  Washington  to  obtain  for  his  father  a  judge- 
ship in  the  new  government,  and  using  his  authorship  of  the  letters  as  the 
reason  for  Clinton's  furthering  his  request.

This  is  really  the  speech  of  Pinckney,  introducing  his  draft  of  a  constitution 
in  the  Convention,  May  29,  1787,  which  for  some  reason  was  omitted  by  both 
Yates  and  Madison  in  their  minutes.  Though  it  does  not  include  the  proposed 
draft,  it  nevertheless  enables  one  to  form  a  clear  idea  of  what  it  was,  and 
proves  that  the  draft  furnished  by  Pinckney  at  the  request  of  J.  Q.  Adams, 
for  publication  in  the  Journal,  and  from  that  generally  copied  into  other 
places,  to  be  fictitious  in  both  form  and  substance.

The    first  edition   of    Elliot's   Debates  contained    nothing  relating  to  South 

Carolina,  and  this  volume  was  prepared  by  some  citizen  of  the  State  to  piece 

out   the  omission.       In  the  later  editions  of  Elliot,  he  reprinted  this  volume 

entire.

Reprinted  in  Webster's  Political  Essays,  and  in  Ford's  Pamphlets  on  the  Con- 
stitution. In  reprinting  this  pamphlet  I  suggested,  with  a  question  mark,  that 
Brutus  was  written  by  Thomas  Tredwell,  having  found  that  he  used  that  sig- 
nature to  a  newspaper  essay  published  in  1789.  I  have  since  concluded  that 
they  were  from  the  pen  of  Robert  Yates,  member  of  the  Federal  Convention 
from  New  York.
